An ultrasonic beacon and a ultrasonic receiver is very similar to a beam barrier circuit, the only difference is we don`t sound an alarm when an object breaks the ultrasonic path, but instead we try to locate the ultrasonic beacon by moving the receiver. This can be useful in robotics, when we use ultrasounds to detect a target (which in fact is t

he beacon itself). For the emitter (the beacon itself), all we need is an oscillator set for a 35-45KHz frequency. We can achieve this using a 555 timer, a microcontroller and PWM, or discrete components. The simple the better, even though we lack some control over the signal shape: The range is excellent, at about 4 meters, the receiver was returning more than 100mV, for the detected signal, while at less than 1 meter it was putting out 4 V. The emission cone`s angle is almost 40 degrees wide. An excellent module for robotics! These modules can be hooked up to a microcontroller`s ADC port, and will return distance dependent voltages. So not only you can use them to spot the direction the sound is coming from, but you can also estimate the distance. The output is via the "signal" pin, which will provide approximately 0. 5V depending on the power level of the detected ultrasonic signal. i have an idea that if we craete a mp3 file which has pulses of 35 to 45khz and then connect the ultrasonic transducer directly to the phone and using head phone jack and play that mp3 file then the tx side ckt can be eliminated what say
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
